I don't think it's greedy, Ouse. It's not greed to want what you are due, and to take what I want to give to you.
[Not in the slightest. She's happy to give everything she can, and that is a not-inconsiderable amount, of affection to someone who really has earned her trust and her loyalty. There is no shadow of doubt that Ouse will do the same, not now. The way she seems to relax, some of the heat vanishing and replaced with something more...comfortable and comforting, is amazing.]
I always said that if I was going to open up to someone like this, to let myself get attached, it would have to be with someone who could deal with me. I am the guardian of passion, as well as fire and war. An ordinary person is someone I'd burn out, in more ways than one.
{She knows that she can be harsh, distant, and even vicious...]
You are giving me something I never thought I'd have, and if I can lift you up, let you experience real joy...build you up into the marvel that you are meant to be...then I'm beyond elated to do so.
